The audio drama “Sound Research of China” (Michael EDDY, KANG He, 李增辉 LI Zenghui) is composed of episodes from research into the makeup of the sound environment of Beijing. The process consisted of many outings as a group into the streets of Beijing and following and questioning the sounds that we identified as “characteristic” of life in China, and of the relation of sound to life there. Working as a unit of three “specialists,” each of our backgrounds informing our manner of recording, analyzing and editing the source materials, we pursued the sounds in various ways to see how they might compose their own narrative and drama.

English version:
Blue Monuments is an anthem for chess champion and failed Russian presidential candidate Garry Kasparov’s political campaign: it is a narrative, incorporating both fact and fiction, with musical elements, including media documents and a notational transcription of Kasparov’s fateful 6 games against Deep Blue. Through it we imagine a history that might have been written otherwise, in a kind of audio retouching.
In collaboration with Ragunath V Sculpture with sound and programming components Shown at Explum 08, Murcia, Spain (2008)
A sculpture and media piece made in collaboration with architect Ragunath V, it consisted of a log produced from a parametric computer script and laser cut, and a sound component. Inside the sculpture were two speakers that emitted a “call”: an appropriated simulation dinosaur roar changed periodically and continuously. The speaker cables led to a laptop connected to the Internet; the sound altered parametrically with data collected from a website selling reproductions of artworks.
